Can I show up early to set up?
Set up must be done during your allotted rental time. If you feel you'll need more time, please book an extra half hour or hour on the front end of your reservation.
What amenities are provided for meetings?
We provide the following amenities to meeting guests at no extra charge:
HD television display or HD projector with HDMI or Apple Display Port connections
Dry-erase board with whiteboard markers and erasers
Video conferencing devices including webcam and speaker
Printing and copying at 25¢ per page
Hi-speed WiFi internet
Coffee, tea, and ice water service $0 for 1-6 attendees, $95 for 7+
Why is coffee & tea service automatically added to meeting bookings?
We automatically add this in-room amenity to morning meetings of more than 6 attendees to ensure we have enough beverages for your group and to prevent our members’ coffee bar from being overwhelmed by a rush of meeting guests. Previously, no coffee and tea was included with meeting rooms unless explicitly ordered by the meeting organizer, but too often, this was not communicated to attendees, which led to confusion. Groups of 6 or fewer attendees can access the members’ coffee bar at no charge.
You can opt-out of coffee service upon booking your room if you have paid for an outside caterer to provide coffee, or if your meeting takes place in the afternoon.
I want to schedule a breakout session(s), can I use other areas in the workspace?
Breakout areas and additional conference space can be reserved subject to availability for $25-$75/hour depending on size of space needed.
Where should attendees go to make private phone calls?
If attendees need a separate room for a private call they can contact our staff at ballard@thepioneercollective.com to book a breakout room.
Can I bring in outside catering?
You may bring in outside catering. Food must be set up in your reserved room or area, not in common spaces, and your caterer must pick up any leftovers, equipment, and excessive garbage. Pack it in, pack it out. Guests who don't comply with this policy will be subject to a $100 additional charge. Please alert staff promptly of any spills or messes.
